A Microscope for the Complex Plane
Features of Z-SCOPE
-
Mandelbrot and Julia calculation
-
for MSDOS / VGA
-
simple operation
-
high-quality pictures through DEM (Distance Estimation Method) algorithm.
Gives clear patterns instead of a jumble of colours, as in the conventional
'Mandelzoom' algorithm
-
can run on any PC, but basically you need a 486 or better to have any fun
with it
-
saves pictures in GIF format with coordinate information embedded (pictures
can be re-loaded and portions can be enlarged further).
-
Z-LASER utility available for making stunning,
very high resolution Mandelbrot/Julia prints on Laserjet/Deskjet printers
Download z-scope.zip (program for ms-dos)
Download z-source.zip (Turbo C source code)
Download z-laser.zip (Laserjet/Deskjet
super-hi-res
print program; MS-DOS executable, and C source code for DOS and Unix/Linux)
Some more sample pictures:
Some z-laser sample pictures for download:
(to print, just copy the unzipped file to a Laserjet/Deskjet printer. In
ms-dos, this is done by the command copy /b filename prn).
